a ton has happened since my last post. the one about exams.
10 dec: dad and mom's old pal who stayed here in SG loooooooong time ago visited again. so he came over to our house to maka. LOCAL FOOD.
11 dec: i had missionary discussions with investigators
12 dec: dad's colleague came over to our house with her husband and kid (HER BABY KID IS SO CUTE AND CHUBBY) to know how my parents raised such good kids (LOL CHEYYY). but yeah. missionaries came over too, and we ATE A FEAST.
13 dec: YSA activities at Jeff's house. ate again.
14 dec (mom's birthday!! ^^): ward Christmas lunch (where i played the flute with Krystine and Thaddus on the piano) for some awesome Christmas songs. ate and ate and ate. didnt go out for dinner since mom and dad were still full from the lunch. sooo..THEY SKIPPED DINNER. SO UNHEALTHY. yes i ate my own dinner okay. i dont skip meals. unless i wake up too late in the morning at 11am >< WHICH IS RARE OKAY.
15 dec: missionaries had FHE at our home with 3 investigators (no food lol)
19 dec: missionary appointment with part member family
had TWO baptisms so far for the month of december!! and if all goes well then we'll be having another THREE more baptisms!! all on the same day!! :D:D:D i love my calling as a ward missionary :D soooooooo much joy :)
today i went to sentosa with dad.
train ride was quiet.
okay so the ORIGINAL plan was that we go get my PADI in thailand (last week). but we had to push it a week back cuz of the ward christmas lunch, so it was supposed to be this week. now, we have another christmas meal with my mom's side of the family, and we cant get the course done in time. so, we decided to cancel the whole thing and just get me certified here in singapore.
then two days ago we decided to settle that today, on FRIDAY, that we'd go snorkeling as a "make-up" since we cant go diving. so here i am!! left house at 1000~hrs, reached harbour front at like 1140hrs. had a light mini lunch there then went to sentosa. took the tram to duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuno which beach. blablabla then we changed up and so i got into my wet suit. YES. WET SUIT. dad insisted that i bring and wear it since he wants me to get used to it (#okaycan).
okay one thing you NEED to know about me, is that im not a good swimmer. i took swimming classes back when i was in primary school. it only lasted for like a few (2-3) months. went with my bro. BASKET I EVEN PERSUADED HIM TO GO WITH ME WALAO. and yeah soon it got boring. idk. so....stopped going from then. i can roughly swim lah. you throw me inside a swimming pool and i'll just swim out of it LOL. so i CAN swim. but if you ask me to go a few laps, i'll wreck your hairdo and throw you into the pool.
kidding.
you know im not the violent kind.
so yeah. i went diving before and it was okay. i went snorkeling before too and yes it was okay also. I HAVE EXPERIENCE POINTS. so this shouldnt be a piece of cake lah right.
where was i.
oh yeah.
we changed up then carried our bags to a tree. the shelters were occupied by some other people so we left our stuff under a tree. the lockers at sentosa dont work so dont bother bringing coins. assembled the snorkels, adjusted the fins, put on wet shoes. in we go into the sea. after a while of practice strokes (about 7minutes in) to get the feel, it started raining.
shucks.
lightning warning.
so we had to get out of the sea and wait till the warning got called off. guess how long it took? at first we only waited 40minutes, then BASKET the wind change direction and brought this freakin huge-butt cloud right our way. wts moment, i tell you. had to wait for another hour. NOT FUNNY. i just got into the sea and then BAM need to go out again, wait for super long time.
btw the lifeguard on duty then quite chio also.
then she wear shades too walao eh.
freakin cool.
anyway.
we decided to go to the other beach (which no lifeguard takes duty at) and just move there. it was much more open, so the waves were a bit (very much) stronger. it continued raining and according to the lifeguard at the previous beach (the chio one) the lightning warning would only be called off at 1530hrs if all goes well. so yeah....we got in at 1520hrs. i hope they dont kill us for that. lol. anyway, resumed my "lesson" since i have not snorkeled in a long time.
btw, salt water tastes GREAT.
yall should try some for yourselves some time yeah.
share the love.
and i kept getting sand in my shoe -.- my foot turned red from all the chaffing because of the stupid sand walao eh. oh anyway. i did normal snorkeling along water surface level (and a bit lower), and then pretty much got diving done too. the water visibility is soooooooo bad that i didnt even know i was diving. but i think i went down a bit too fast. my head felt the pressure change quite quickly. and now i my head is throbbing. im serious.
but anyway. i think i got the diving settled. i can have a snorkel on and dive down, until my breath dies out. feeling quite confident about it already!! and yeah the wet suit fits well~
AND YEAH. WEIRD SIA.
WHEN I WAS MOVING TO THE OTHER BEACH RIGHT THAT TIME, GOT PEOPLE WALK PAST. and this girl keep looking at me.
okay lah i know i wear suit a bit kuazhang BUT IS THAT THE REASON WHYYY.
she kept smiling and at me and im like wait i know im not wearing my specs but im seeing clearly here right lol.
aaaaaaaaaaanyway.
yeah.
lunafly concert tomorrow. hopefully without this throbbing head.
on the way back home before leaving harbour front, i went to harbour front centre. another lifeguard (macho guy) was using a FOX40 whistle. STEADY. i asked him where he got it and BAM i went there after we left sentosa. guess what i got my own lol.
this baby is what i've been thinking of having ever since secondary school.
pretty baby.
i blew it lightly just now and LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
it makes me curious as to know what it sounds like when i blow it with a normal breath.
gonna be super cool.
wake up call for people in camps XD
but yeah its super cool ohmygosh.
got it for less than $10 yaknow.
steady steady pom pi pi.
okayokay goodnight this head-throbbing feeling is taking a toll on my sanity. see you guys around laterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr while i roll around with the waves in my head
